Silos. Sony was (is?) a collection of companies that often didn't cooperate well. After the acquisition, SCS was under the heading of Sony Corporation of America. (SCA) They did little to interfere with the company and they had some fun perks, but they didn't seem to be able to do much to support or grow the products either. Want to add support for <$$$$ broadcast hardware>? SCA couldn't arrange a loan, or get you next year’s model before it launched.

Sometime around the economic collapse of '08, SCS was transferred under the heading of Sony Electronics and it felt like there was more support and more of an effort to promote the products of SCS by Sony (and we could finally borrow hardware!), but the market had moved on and SCS never regained its former glory.
